Приєднався 8 бер 2020
I started this channel during the C-19 Pandemic just for fun. It has now started to grow and I am enjoying sharing scuba diving experiences in the UAE with my audience. I am now growing the channel by adding equipment reviews and showing how I am learning to use the GoPro for all my videography. I am starting to collaborate with other ScubaTubers such as Critter Hunter. Matthias Lebo and Blue Horizon Diving so let's see where the channel goes.
A little about me I am British and 62 years old. I learned to dive with the British Sub Aqua Club in 1982. Opened my first dive shop Scuba Tech in the UK in 1985. in 1988 I set up Scuba Dubai and Scuba International in Dubai, followed by the Scuba Shop acquisition in Abu Dhabi. Scuba Arabia was then set up to operate diving at resorts in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ajman. I exited the Scuba Diving business I think it was around 1995, to focus on my construction career and business. Now I am a budding ScubaTuber. Email bdavies.scuba@gmail.com

The sharing dhows will never go to the best sites, given the general inexperience of most divers. The sites we used to visit on our chartered private dhows which you used to come on are unlikely to be visited again given most of the knowledge of their locations as well as knowing when the conditions permit diving has pretty much left the UAE. I doubt whether there's even 5 people that know the sites (and probably only 2 that can plan the dives around currents etc) I miss our trips up north, especially far North right in the strait of Hormuz, on the Quions they were fab weekends, even if trying to please everyone with site choices was hard, especially in windy or on springs... Wave at White Rock and Mother of mouse for me Martin
@@TwelvePaws Good to hear from you Martin. We are working on getting private trips back on track.
I will try to make it Brain ,UK time should be 1.30 am see you on 16Sep
Thanks for the video Brian. I really enjoyed the part at the end with the two moray eels, the lionfish, and The Purple Rope sponge. Nice video!
Thanks Dave glad you enjoyed it. Was getting used to a fantastic new wide angle lens for the GoPro.
Wow 😲 so nice
Thanks 😊
yeah!how outstanding footage~ goodbye!;))
Thanks
Taking that much on a diving trip let alone on the dive with you is absurd and unnecessary. 1 smb is plenty. Stay with your group
@@harrisonthrasher55 Unfortunately i have to disagree on the two times I was in the water for quite some time I was with the group! The first time a heavy fog rolled in. The second time the boat was picking up other groups as the live-aboard had diving split in four groups of six. I also dive in the Musandam which is very remote and with extremely strong currents. There we dive in buddy pairs with boat cover for several buddy pairs. I do not know your diving qualifications or experience but your comment suggests you have not done remote or extreme current diving. Unfortunately people just use words like absurd to make themselves look like an expert without knowing the full facts. Just recently a father and son lost theit lives in Indonesia due to being lost at sea with their Instructor (who survived because she left them!) They would be probably bern alive today if they have the items I suggest.
Going there in 1 week with my wonderful Wife
You will enjoy it
I loved the Oolong channel! The cabbage patch was amazing. Would go back again as well. :)
@@thesquid2611 Hopefully i will go back in November
Wow 😮😮😮
@@alexsalboro9 Thanks Alex
Good to see you back Brian and looking forward to watching your dive trip reviews.
Thanks will be posting Palau this week.
Just finishing it should be uploaded tomorrow
Hello Brian! Nice to see You are well and back. Keep the good work up. 💙
@@WetSouls thanks chaps managing to get a video up every week
Awesome video! BTW, how did you book the scuba diving trips and how much was it? The day trips offered by the resort are kinda expensive, around $120 pp. What about yours?
$120 pp per dive (tax & service fee included)
@@Dark0Voice I booked a liveaboard diving catamaran through Dharavandhoo divers for three of us for the week.
Good to see you diving on Justin`s boat , looked excellent for UW filming👍
Cheers John I need to get back to Dauin
Is Paralenz still in business? They don't have a website anymore.
@@dive9495 The company has been liquidated they failed to deliver the promised performance, priced the product too high, had too many expensive hangers on and no plan. The investors finally gave up and pulled the plug.
Wow nice
Thanks Alex
Nice to see you back😊 Stumbled upon your channel searching for Coronet videos some while back. Has been a great pleasure watching the work on her. The “extra” benefit from watching is listening to that Michael Caine voice😁 Thanks for sharing your experience with the boat and diving. Kindly
Thanks we have a lot of Coronet videos coming. The Jet Thrusters, Gyrostabliser install a huge amount of solar and new radar and autopilot. Once all that is done (by year end), we will be doing some nice passages around the region.
@@DubaiDiver sounds great 👍 looking forward to seeing all the struggles you have with the old lady😁 She’s so special and absolutely beautiful and unique. Just lovely ❤️😎
Just uploaded a Coronet video
Waiting for amazing things..
You make it sound like I abandoned Shai and her career building, but its actually the opposite. I'm just not filming it much. Now that I have my own dive center, she and a few of our other sponsored kids are doing a ton of courses. Shai is about as far as she can go but she is turning 18 in a few months and then we are finishing her SDI Divemaster. She training on every dive now to be an instructor eventually.
On the contrary Shai owes her start in the business to you. What I stated was correct was it news. Anyway it’s excellent positive news from your side glad that her journey continues. Might be an idea to do a Scuba Apprentice update on your channel. Would be good.
I love the new Logo looks awesome
Thanks Turgut
Great to have you back. Have always enjoyed your content. By the way, are you still using that Apeks 90L roller bag? I bought one after your initial review and it has served me well, most recently on a recent liveaboard experience in the Galapagos.
@@robbchadwick2793 Thanks Yes still using the back very well made although i am upgrading to a larger bag. Video coming soon.
Sorry about the knees Brian, been there and now even worse issues with aggressive Prost C. Getting older but still good, diving is a passion that helps keep the mind positively focused in the most amazing way. Excellent you are fresh again Brian, time to film
@@johnmiskin4905 Thanks John

Good luck guys I am sure if it’s humanly possible you will be fully up and running on 1 September

Welcome back Brian, I was wondering when we'd hear from you
@@riderdiver1 Thanks was a longer break than expected
Welcome back from Singapore... Looking forward to bunking on your boat
Anytime Ben you are always welcome
Love those rocker stops 😂 looks like a great idea 💡 Much cheaper than a Sea Keeper, huh? 👍 That boat setup looks very nice indeed. I like all the drop-down cleats for the fenders. Noted for my refurb. That spot where the cooler is, you could maybe put a 6 or 8 pack tank rack. Maybe with a flip down (hinged) seat/cover to make it safer when wandering around on deck, no padding? 🤔 I use my cooler for drinks and a sandwich or 3, myself. So i looked into that night vision. Not cheap 😯 Would be nice if it swiveled by small motor... Good stuff captain 🫡
Thanks Frank yes the rocker stoppers were a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the other suggestions appreciate them.
Nice boat Brian 👍
Thanks few more things to get sorted but 95% there
It is always thumbs 👍 up brother for you your videos do deserve thumbs up 🤙🤙🤙🧿
Thanks Turget
